    Thumbs up Homemade Outboard Stand $47.76...


    Thumbs Up I hope everyone had a blast at yesterday's slabfest, unfortunately I had to punch the clock. I'll be reading up and trying to help out with the next one even if I have to work that day also. The wife and I ended up on Lake Harney the day before and had a blast, my previous post has a picture of the wife with her two biggest specks.

    Late yesterday I scouted out some plans online to build a stand for my little 20hp Johnson then skipped over to Lowes for some materials (4 - 2x4x96, 1-2x6x96, 4-175lbs casters, 16-5/16x1 lag screws, and a box of 2 1/2" drywall course thread screws). After work today I got it put together while the kids played outside. A simple project but I'm proud of it. Maybe this post can help someone else out in the future.

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, youll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes. :p

    wish I had a helper as cute as yours, nice work.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Well i am working through getting a 'free' boat, and once all the paper work is cleared up, im going to be looking for a motor just like that.

    I was wondering what to do with a motor like that, with how easy it may 'walk off' from my boat parked in the yard.

    That stand looks like a great idea.
